Clear Light of Day is an examination of contemporary India and a family history in which two sisters， Bim and Tara， learn that， although there will always be family scars， the ability to forgive and forget is a powerful ally against life’s sorrows. Twenty years ago when Tara married， she left Old Delhi and a home full of sickness and death， while Bim continued to live in the family home taking care of their autistic brother， Baba. Now Tara has returned， her first visit in 10 years， for their niece’s wedding. Bim refuses to attend; she can’t visit their brother Raja who， like Tara， left her many years ago. Instead Bim dwells bitterly on her feelings of abandonment and the impact on her of her country’s recent history: the violent conflict between Hindus and Muslims， the death of Gandhi and the ensuing struggle for political power and the malaria epidemic that killed so many. In Bim’s presence， Tara once again feels ’herself shrink into that small miserable wretch of 20 years ago， both admiring and resenting her tall striding sister’， while ’Bim was calmly unaware of any of her sister’s agonies， past or present’. With language that describes both the harshness and beauty of family and the land， Anita Desai takes the reader with Tara and Bim on their struggle to confront and heal old wounds. --Alex Freeman， Amazon.com --このテキストは、 ペーパーバック 版に関連付けられています。

Book Description
Set in India’s Old Delhi， CLEAR LIGHT OF DAY is Anita Desai’s tender， warm， and compassionate novel about family scars， the ability to forgive and forget， and the trials and tribulations of familial love. At the novel’s heart are the moving relationships between the members of the Das family， who have grown apart from each other. Bimla is a dissatisfied but ambitious teacher at a women’s college who lives in her childhood home， where she cares for her mentally challenged brother， Baba. Tara is her younger， unambitious， estranged sister， married and with children of her own. Raja is their popular， brilliant， and successful brother. When Tara returns for a visit with Bimla and Baba， old memories and tensions resurface and blend into a domestic drama that is intensely beautiful and leads to profound self-understanding.
